And no the profit clearly doesn't just lay in the flagships for them when their $480 phone gets outperformed by phones half the price.

      Anonymous, 23 Jul 2020No NFC, no SD card expansion, no headhphone jack, no IP68. ... moreThis SD card for the phone is super important future; No 1 / swapping SD card and files from & editing in the notebook, no more crazy "Cloud" hassle as they're getting greedy plus messing up files, it works better to backed up in to SD, and always available off line, plus so much more! No 2 / SD card should be available all the phones or it's retarded. I know little bit the quality of LG as current phone is LG V50 and SD slot usable also for the second phone line, really cool future when traveling, I think it's time for upgrade. Regards Henry

            Where do you live? Just purchased the unlocked version at best buy (United States) upgraded to 10 out of the box.

The tax policy in each country is different, plus, i think the proce in South korea is a bit higher (and also europe) due to higher tax

I thought it only happens to LG G6 (mine stuck in andorid 8, which came per installed out of the box). I thought the G6 was a "special" case since it uses sd821 in sd835 era (due to Qualcomm inability to produced sufficient soc at that time). I've sold it though

The functionality features that the accessory gives is exceptional. Not to mention the phone is IP certified with a good headphone jack. It's definitely not a perfect device, but it's a good one.

                                      it would be nice competition if the price was 499 or something.
